The essentials
●
Only u
se wheel bolts which correspond to
the wheel rims in question.
● Never use different wheel bolts.
● The bolts and threads should be clean, free
of oil
and grease and easy to thread.
● To loosen and tighten the wheel bolts, al-
way
s use the wheel brace supplied with the
vehicle.
● Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn
before r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
● Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub thre
ads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
● Never loosen the bolted joints of wheel
rims with bo
lted ring trims.
● If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the
correct
torque, they may come loose while
driving, and the bolts and rims may come
out. If the tightening torque is too high, the
wheel bolts and threads can be damaged. Raising the vehicle with the jack

The essentials
WARNING
If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could
fa l
l off the jack causing serious injury. Please
observe the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
● You should only use a jack approved by
SEAT f
or your vehicle. Other jacks, even those
approved for other SEAT models, might slip
out of place.
● The ground should be firm and flat. If the
ground i
s sloped or soft then the vehicle
could slip and fall off the jack. If necessary,
support the jack on a wide solid base.
● If the ground is slippery, such as tiles,
plac
e a non-slip surface (a floor mat, for in-
stance) beneath the jack to avoid slipping.
● Only fit the jack at the prescribed jacking
points. The c
law of the jack should grip the
reinforcement nerve on the underbody
››› Fig. 56.
● You should never place a body limb such as
an arm or leg u
nder a raised vehicle that is
solely supported by the jack.
● If you have to work underneath the vehicle,
you mus
t use suitable stands additionally to
support the vehicle, there is a risk of acci-
dent!.
● Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine i
s running.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations. Removing and fitting a wheel

aising the vehicle with the jack.
Removing the wheel
● Slacken the wheel bolts ›››
page 37.
● Raise the vehicle ›››
page 38.
● Using the hexagonal socket in the wheel
brace ›

›› Fig. 57, unscrew the slackened
wheel bolts and place them on a clean sur-
face.
● Take off the wheel.
How to u
se the spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
›››  page 205, Tyre code. ●
Place the s
pare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
● Replace the wheel bolts and tighten slight
-
ly using the hexagonal socket on the end of
the wheel brace.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel bolts
use the corr
esponding adaptor.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
›››
. Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a c ir
c
le).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
›››
page 36. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tight ened t

o the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
● All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be cle
an and free of oil and grease. The wheel
bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect torque.
● The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be u
sed for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts. 39

e w

ith lifting platform or jack Always use the jacking points indicated in
the figur

s

››› Fig. 158 and ››› Fig. 159 when
raising the vehicle. If the vehicle is not lifted
at these points, it could be seriously dam-
aged ››› or lead to serious injury
›
››

.The vehicle should not be lifted using lifting
p
latf

orms with lift pads containing fluid.
When raising a vehicle using a platform or
jack, a series of precautionary measures are
required. Do not raise the vehicle with a lift-
ing platform or jack unless you have received
training in how to do so and know how to do
so safely.
Notes on raising the vehicle with a jack
››› page 71. WARNING
The improper use of the lifting platform or
the jac k

when raising the vehicle may result
in accidents or serious injury.
● Before raising the vehicle, please observe
the manufact
urer's instructions for the plat-
form or jack, and the legal requirements,
where applicable.
● There should not be anyone inside the ve-
hicle when it
is being raised or once it is in
the air.
● Only use the jacking points indicated in the
figures
››› Fig. 158 and ››› Fig. 159 when rais-
ing the vehicle. If the vehicle is not lifted at
the indicated points, it may fall from the plat-
form while the engine or gearbox is being
dismounted, for example.
● The jacking points should be centrally
aligned and firmly
positioned on the platform
support plates. ●
Never s t

art the engine when the vehicle is
raised! The vehicle may fall from the platform
due to the engine vibrations.
● If it is necessary to work underneath the ve-
hicle whi
le it is raised, you should check that
the supporting stands have an adequate load
capacity.
● Never climb onto the lifting platform.
● Always make sure that the weight of the ve-
hicle doe
s not exceed the lifting platform
load capacity. CAUTION
● Never r ai

se the vehicle at the engine oil
sump, the gearbox or the rear or front axles.
● Always use an intermediate rubber support
to prev
ent damage to the vehicle underbody.
Check that the arms of the lifting platform are
able to move with obstruction.
● The arms should not come into contact with
the side runnin
g boards or other parts of the
vehicle. Caring for and cleaning the ve-
